Passover comes and there is no coincidence that a lamb was to be slain. Just as the Lamb of God was about to shed blood to save us all.
But before we dive in too much further I want to chat about the context of the Book of Luke. Technically the author is anonymous, but through context clues and other evidence, it’s thought to be Luke. He’s the detail-oriented apostle who was a physician and a Gentile. Also thought to be the author of Acts. Evidence leads to thinking the writing was somewhere around 60-61 AD.
Read: Luke 22:7-13
Notes:
- Jesus tells 2 disciples of the plan. Could this be because he wanted it to be a secret so Judas wouldn’t have time to betray him before they ate together?
- A sign // A man carrying a jar would be unusual as women normally did this activity.
- Jesus prepared the way. He is in control and takes care of all the details.
